The complete illogic of this astounds me, particularly the $1800 fine for providing incorrect information.
So, you want to update your census information, so you send forms to all your citizens. Okay, so you're admitting that you don't know what the correct information actually is. So how the elephanting elephant can you fine someone $1800 for providing incorrect information after implicitly admitting to not having the correct information!?
Am I missing something, or is the Australian government really that stupid?

That is amazing -- not just the use of the tech, but the imagination for how to use the tech.

My son and I saw this at the STEM Conference in DC[^]. If you get the chance to visit, go there. It's every two years. I'm told there's one in California on alternate years, but I can't find it.

Over 4 months of work. About $700 spend.
And you give it to a 3 year old kid!?!?!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Haven't you heard of dads who buy expensive toys (remote controlled planes, etc.) "for their kids" only so they can play with them?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I prefer that than a iPhone 7 to a 5 years old (yes... I have seen it and still can not understand it)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I didn't say it is not cool! I just would keep it to myself after that much effort - the kid can go with a plastic truck just as well...

I actually just finished making one of these for a science center for kids. It was a fun project, the end result is really cool.

While this is definitely "Geek Dad of the Year" material right here, it's a bit like giving your wife a diamond tennis bracelet for your one year anniversary... Setting the bar really high.

i just wanted to say. nothing personal about the hal. [redacted] just told me to rewrite it and thats what im doing. i actually think you have a lot of good ideas when it comes to programming, its just that is very beginner un-friendly.
So, let's see. A system that is:
- modular
- micro-services architecture
- has to deal with asynchronous events on non-UI threads from hardware
- uses a publisher/subscriber (of my own design) to queue work (synchronously or asynchronously), distribute messages to all receivers, and handles exceptions by the receiver
- includes a logging module to PaperTrailApp
- includes an email module for critical exceptions
- has to interface to CefSharp
- has to deal with all sorts of hardware, from ATM's to desktop devices (some of which are brain dead)
- supports mocking hardware by simply swapping out the real module in the config file with the mock module
...is supposed to be "beginner friendly"?
ok, we could:
- make it monolithic
- handle async processing somehow (not sure what they have in mind)
- make it non-modular
- throw out the mocking features
- throw out the logging
- throw out all but the 3 devices their trying to support
and...
- re-implement it in F#
- use reactive extensions
- god knows what other fancy kruft
and that WILL be beginner friendly.
As Ryan Peden so accurately stated[^]:
but weak or non-existent technical leaders...are the ultimate cause.
And as to i actually think you have a lot of good ideas when it comes to programming coming from the newbie, well, I had some choice words I won't repeat here.
